🎆 BOOM-FREE TIPS FROM OUR SHELTER DOGS 🎆

The 4th of July is one of the busiest and most heartbreaking times of year for animal shelters across the country. Fireworks, loud gatherings, and sudden chaos can be terrifying for pets and many end up lost, injured, or worse.

Our adoptable dogs are here to help, each sharing an important safety tip to protect your furry family members this holiday.

But remember: it’s not just dogs who are at risk.
🐱 Cats should be kept securely indoors with windows and doors shut.
🐴 Livestock and horses may need extra shelter or sound buffers.
🐰 Small animals can be stressed by noise and flashing lights—keep them somewhere quiet and calm.
No animal should be left outside or unattended.

**Please, please, please make sure all pets have some form of ID—**whether it’s a microchip, tag, or even your number written directly on a collar. It can be the difference between lost and found.

Let’s make this a safe 4th for every pet, in every home.

And if one of our featured dogs steals your heart, they’re all looking for loving families!

🌼 Adoptable Dog Spotlight: TANSY 🌼

Tansy came to us as a stray back in April and is now thriving in a loving foster home while she waits for her forever family!

Here’s what her foster has to say:
“Tansy! She’s wild, fun, sweet, cuddly and LOVES the great outdoors! She loves hiking, being outside sunbathing/playing but needs a place to recoup from her shenanigans and her favorite place to be is on her humans lap! She’s potty trained, crate trained, has wonderful food manners, gets along well with cats and dogs, has wonderful recall skills, and is such an intelligent little lady and learns fast!”

Tansy would thrive in a moderate to high-activity home where she can stay busy and loved.

✔️ Up to date on DAPP and Bordetella
✔️ Adoption fee: $80
✔️ Adopter must have her spayed within 30 days (low-cost options available!)
✔️ Currently in foster – appointments required to meet her

If you’re ready for adventure, cuddles, and a loyal new best friend—Tansy might just be your girl! Contact us to schedule a meet-and-greet!
